Have to thank Z for his exceptional coverage of Fenerbahçe this year. But I must say if you took a deep dive in our league history you’d have Zealandisms for years to come.
Messi is not dumb man, lots of politicians tried to use him for propaganda, that's the reason he didn't go and didn't send anyone to receive that piece of metal, period.
He has a team that arrange charitable things for him to do, sp he can attract better sponsors, etc . . I refuse to believe there aren't more deserving people in USA
Joe Biden is 82 years old, Lionel Messi is 37 years old. When Joe Biden was Messi's age, it was 1979. The best footballer that year was Kevin Keegan, but partially because non-european based players weren't eligible for the ballon d'Or at that time, otherwise it might have been Diego Maradona. Diego Maradona passed away, aged 60 in November 2020, the same month Joe Biden won the US Presidential election. Maradona passed away 5 days before Joe Biden celebrated his 79th birthday. I wasted at least 10 seconds of your day reading this.
For some reason, I went on YT to watch the 1986 World Cup game between Argentina and South Korea. Those South Korean players really did a number on Maradona in that one but their only goal in that game was a beauty.
As someone who is maybe more familiar than Z would be with the Daily Mail being from Ireland, getting a lot of UK TV and so understanding that the Daily Mail has a reputation for being morally backwards, Z's full rant about the Daily Mail is fucking glorious. Z and I have very similar backgrounds, degrees in Journalism, worked in newspapers/broadcast media, knows how this shit works, and seeing the pure unadulterated rage fly off the screen was absolute art.
Imagine being American and you saved many lives or I don't know did some massive medical breakthrough and you get beaten by some argentine who plays for a sport you statistically probably don't care about.
If anyone wanted to argue that later in his career he was just being given these high profile trophies because of the name where there might've been more deserving people, this will form some of the argument
Z… as a fellow Tampanian… would love a Mike Evans video from ya. There’s no rules, lmao; I’d love to hear ya break yesterday’s game down, love the vids!!!
Ultimately just devalues the award by using it for popularity pandering. Similar to Gareth Southgate getting a knighthood for failing at his job tournament after tournament.
isn't it just like the obe/mbe you can get in the UK? a way for the country to go "we like [popular person] too, so really we're just like you." People go "that's neat" when someone they like get it but no-one really cares that much.
The most hilarious thing that I encountered about the whole Messi getting the Medal of Freedom actually came from my sister in law. She's an die-hard psychofan of a politician with certain divisive qualities and a distinct shade of orange. She got really annoyed with the whole situation and came to the only logical conclusion WHY Messi is getting the medal from the current president. He's part of the... Deep State (DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!!!). It's mind-boggling, the lows to which the levels of discussion, political or otherwise, have slumped in recent years. Come to think of it, I need to try and get her in touch with Daily Mail, she'll make an absolute fortune as a correspondent from accross the pond.
I think Messi was probably enjoying an Off-season break and If I'm a Florida based athlete or from a Country currently ruled by Milei, I am going nowhere near that photo call. Just one picture with Hillary Clinton, George Soros or David Rubenstein would mess up any plans he has for when he stops playing. Paul Dacre, Managing editor of the Daily Mail, would have been only too happy to republish those pictures anytime Messi offended him.
Zealand, missing out on this particular ceremony at THE WHITE HOUSE with the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, the leader of the free world and the one government we europeans have been raised to view with the highest respect possible in music, movies and media. Missing out on this medal, specifically for individual achievement instead of piggybacking on an organisation....this sounds like the biggest PR mistake of all time. I mean it's forgivable......but is it though? IS IT?????
I don't know where in Europe are you from but in my eu country the US is far from being seen like you've said. The american stereotype is ignorant hypereligious karens or trigger-friendly arrogant dudes. I know it's not how real americans are but the stereotype is there.
@@SilverC. The Netherlands. And if Lionel Messi stands in the White House receiving the Medal of Freedom like this: static01.nyt.com/images/2017/01/13/us/13biden1/13biden1-superJumbo.jpg from anyone other than touppee orange, I guarrantee you....for a moment....we will view America like we used to. Like this: ruclips.net/video/teet9pcl0VM/видео.html
@@PauloSergio-xu6gl That's not a very western name sergio. The west is USA, Canada, West Europe, Australia. And American in our culture, is somebody from the USA. Like I said, the world doesnt all share the same culture.
@napolean_ragland again, not talking about culture. Just about facts. West is more than US. So yes, I’m western, just like Messi. And just like him, I’m also American (I’m Brazilian, which, as you may know, is in south America). So we are South American, which, as it is in the name, American. Again, not culture or whatever you or anyone else believes. Just fact.
I love Messi but this award was absurd -- fortunately, the GOAT didn't turn up to the circus. However, he certainly deserved it more than George Soros, that's for sure.
I"m sure Michael J. Fox was proud to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I've spoken with others who responded with enthusiasm on hearing that Micheal J. Fox had been awarded it.
so when real madrid doesent go to a rigged ballon dor ceremony is disrespectful but if messi doesent go to receive a medal from the fucking president of thhe united states he´s just a busy guy....
Zealand's crusade against the Daily Mail continues
A cause worth fighting for
He's fighting the good fight
It’s the journalistic equivalent of a buffet. It’s shit quality and there’s just so much of it. Pages and pages of drivel.
He could reverse engineer his forehead to block them with his thoughts
So here for it
YOU'LL NEVER SING THAAAT
YOU'LL NEVER SING THAAAT
PRESIDENTAL MEDAL AWARD
YOU'LL NEVER SING THAAAT
That's StuntPegg territory
The dailymail's website can cause seizures, 50 adds to 1 article, and that's while using add blockers 😂
dude has one heck of a cranium
😂 I know this and am used to this fact yet reading this comment made me chuckle.
Everyone's first reaction to seeing this guy
The haircut really gives it Justice
Messi won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, that's means he's worthy of the ballon d'or 2025
Trump will give CR7 the medal somehow, and the debate will go on.
Please make this happen.
Doesn’t CR7 have a warrant for arrest in the US?
@@maxl.b.m.y.g.5918 so it's perfect for Trump then lol
Messi FC (Miami) is a key Trump constituency. not gonna happen
No, Ronaldo must play in the United States for that to happen, hehe
Have to thank Z for his exceptional coverage of Fenerbahçe this year. But I must say if you took a deep dive in our league history you’d have Zealandisms for years to come.
This is actually so random 😂 bros been in America for like 2 years
Joe Biden is just doing random shit now, he doesnt give a fuck anymore 😂
Its more political in nature.
I meaaaan while he didn't win the mls
He was the best player in a squad that broke the record for most points
@@wolfbad512so that random fact deserves a presidential award? 😂
The Hate Mail/ Daily Fail/ Daily Heil is indeed the worst of the worst
Zealand HATES the Daily Mail
They should give Cristiano that medal next time he visits the United Sta-ooooohh wait
I mean, technically speaking, Messi is American. He's from the continent of America.
Exactly my thought.
Messi is not dumb man, lots of politicians tried to use him for propaganda, that's the reason he didn't go and didn't send anyone to receive that piece of metal, period.
As an Argentine, Messi is American, just not United-statian.
United Statian, ha.
He has a team that arrange charitable things for him to do, sp he can attract better sponsors, etc . .
I refuse to believe there aren't more deserving people in USA
Chronically Online Zealand
if he was chronically online he would know how to install ublock...
We glossed over that "19 other people." The list of recipients is always pretty eclectic, but this year? HOOOOOOOLLLYYY!
Ronaldo cant even hope to compete with the goat now
Messi choose the MLS over the Saudi league , just a thought🐫🐫🐫🤯
if any soccer related foreigner should receive a medal shouldn't it be david beckham as he had the biggest hand in saving soccer in the US ?
Joe Biden is 82 years old, Lionel Messi is 37 years old. When Joe Biden was Messi's age, it was 1979.

hell yeah, part 2 of shitting on the daily mail, im here for it
Messi is absolutely American. Just as myself (I'm from Argentina), yourself and every other person born in the American continent.
Si, pero american es tradicional por como les decían los británicos en la guerra de independencia, decir american es decir que sos de EEUU.
But the us and Argentina are on two different continents

Ultimately just devalues the award by using it for popularity pandering.
Similar to Gareth Southgate getting a knighthood for failing at his job tournament after tournament.
have you met the US government? 😆
idkwym Messi freed the souls of millions, if not billions, after Qatar
Has David Beckham been gifted this award?
Magic Johnson also helped donate millions to charity. Messi did too tbf. Almost everyone on that list did charity work
Has there ever been a presidential medal of freedom winner that doesnt speak english?
Okay NOW its ridiculous
So because Messi is super popular basically, there giving a medal of Freedom to an ambassador of Qatar? Disappointed but not surprised 😕
First, now oil up Z
In other news, Z is being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom from hair on your forehead
isn't it just like the obe/mbe you can get in the UK? a way for the country to go "we like [popular person] too, so really we're just like you." People go "that's neat" when someone they like get it but no-one really cares that much.
Still weird that a guy that’s been in the US for a bit over a year gets a presidential medal.
The haircuts looking good baldie
Zealand uses a relevant topic to shit on the Dailymail, part 349
Zealand vs Ben Nagle boxing match live on youtube make it happen!
Nobody likes the Daily Mail
Bill Nye and Michael J. Fox also got medals too.

The Daily Mail is to journalism what Elon Musk is to expertly running a social media network.
La pelota no se mancha
A preposterous w.T.F moment from the daily fail...never ceases to amaze me how shit they really are at journalism
Have you had a look into Gareth I mean sir Gareth Southgate it's a joke he hasn't won anything with england
smh Zealand complaining about ads and still not installing an ad blocker 🙄
interesting, I did not think "wtf" though. Messi is magico dude
I think Messi was probably enjoying an Off-season break and If I'm a Florida based athlete or from a Country currently ruled by Milei, I am going nowhere near that photo call.

Messi is american. Just not 'merican.
*But somehow *DER REKORDMEISTER* Thomas Müller Has no skills and scored today, but ok
Multiple dumb things? Z gonna recite all the states in the USA?
I'm confused I thought Trump was President not Bieden (im not American)
I don't think Trump is president until later this month. But I'm also not American, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong 😂
Not until Jan 20th.
For kicking a ball about the park? I get he’s one of the best to ever but that’s a bit much isn’t it not?
One Messi is apparently more important than adequate healthcare for veterans so they don't blow themselves up in front of hotels.
@ Unfortunately lots of aspects of life just aren’t fair. A footballer getting a medal or not ain’t going to change that
It might help watching the video before commenting on it

The Dail Fail isn't just a shitty clickbait ad farm, it's also a fascist rag

Messi isn’t American how’s he winning awards
Messi has better shit to do but Biden doesn't? Wtf kinda priorities we got in the white house?
At 4:00 "Messi is not american" wtf bro? Do you even own a map? Of course he is
American in the US context means from the US, not American as in the continent
Better Messi than Soros and Hillary. 😡
Fifa is going overboard with this!
3:58 South America is American
not for the context. please stop being insufferable
You know what he means
